LINGERIE.
There are only two forms of lingerie;
one is the habit shirt, the other the tuck
er., All embroidered edges, alI tUckings
are very fine and narrow, and this minute
ness Of fuish extends to the pOcket-hand-
kerchief. Borders, lace or embroidered
edges are small and fine as possible; but
the newest thing, the handkerchief COW
cred with small dots or figures, men
toned some months ago, is beginning to
appear more generally, and will doubt
less soon be copied and vulgarized in
larger, more conspicuous designs and
cOlorinCs.
RIBBONS FOR EVENING WEAR.
Among the minor details Of evening
dress are dainty ribbons that tie around
the neck. The ribbon is moderately
wide, and, as rule, is fastened 30 a
foundation OF stiff net, which prevents its
wrinkHng. The bow at the back is com
pact, and the ends but little longer than
the short loops. The bow is made up, as
it is called, not tied each time the ribbon
is worn. Black ribbon, velvet studded,
with single diamond ornament, or its
likeness, Rhine stone, looks very chic,
and serves admirably to set off, by force
of contrast, good complexion. When
the ends of the ribbon are not short,
curiOusIy enough, they are very long,
reaching always below the waist; bat
when this style is chosen narrow ribbon
only is worn.
